Winters Mill High – Art II

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This honors level course is designed to extend artistic concepts introduced in Art I through additional studio experiences. This course stresses the development of student as artist through artistic skill and knowledge, and the application to a student’s own artwork and personal exploration. This course will reference artists and exemplars of Art I with newly presented artists, works, and the people and cultures that produced them for in-depth study. Experiences in drawing, printmaking, painting, design, and three-dimensional art will be offered. Emphasis is placed on artistic voice, personal expression, and building student capacity toward developing artistic opinions and the ability to respond to those opinions. Students will create works of art and develop personal criteria for assessing them. Students may be required to purchase sketchbooks. Basic supplies for learning technique will be supplied; however, the expense of more advanced materials, if desired, will be the responsibility of each student.
